IMPROVEMENT IN PORTABLE FENCES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 54,754, dated May 15, 1866.

of Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Portable Fence; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication, in Which- Figure l is a side view of my invention; Fig. 2, a plan or top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in attaching pickets to the links of a wire chain, substantially in the manner as hereinafter set forth, whereby a very economical, durable, and ilexible fence is obtained, one which may be readily put up and taken down and adjusted so as to form any angle that may be required in course of of its erection.

A A represent two chains composed of links a., which are all formed precisely alike, one end being curved or bent so as to extend around the pickets B, as shown at b, Fig'. 2, and the opposite ends bent to form small eyes c, to hook into the large loops b, the eye c of one link being engaged with the loop b of the adjoining one.

Aother fixtures.

The links a may be cheaply constructed and for such purpose.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent` A portable fence constructed of two or more parallel chains, A A, composed of links a, bent in the form and around the pickets B, in the manner substantially as hereinset ibrth.
